NEW YORK — Disgraced former Los Angeles police Detective Mark Fuhrman was the ''Grand Dragon'' of an anti-female police group and wore a hood at ''tribunals'' held to punish male cops who refused to shun female officers, the New York Daily News reported Monday. Fuhrman, whose bigoted tape-recorded comments were a major part of O.J. Simpson's criminal trial, described putting on a hooded sweatshirt to preside at beer-fueled mock trials held at night at a baseball field, the newspaper said.
